Create a Workday HCM connection

Beta

This feature is in Beta. Workspace admins can control access to this feature from the Previews page. See Manage Databricks previews.

Create a Workday HCM connection in Catalog Explorer to store OAuth authentication credentials for Lakeflow Connect ingestion. Any user with the USE CONNECTION privilege on the connection can then create Workday HCM ingestion pipelines without needing direct access to the credentials.

Alternatively, admin users can create a connection and a pipeline at the same time in the data ingestion UI. See Create an ingestion pipeline.

For privilege requirements, see Connect to managed ingestion sources.

Prerequisites​

Complete the source setup. Use the OAuth credentials you obtain to create the connection.

  1. In the Databricks workspace, click Data icon. Catalog > Create > Create a connection.
  2. On the Connection basics page, enter a unique Connection name.
  3. In the Connection type drop-down menu, select Workday HCM.
  4. (Optional) Add a comment.
  5. Click Next.
  6. On the Authentication page, enter the following credentials:
    • Client ID: The client ID from the OAuth setup.
    • Client Secret: The client secret from the OAuth setup.
    • Refresh Token: The refresh token from the OAuth setup.
    • Tenant Name: Your Workday Organization ID (click MyAccount > Organization ID).
